C. Suisse Invests in Israeli Healthcare

Credit Suisse commits $250 million investment to aMoon II.

Credit Suisse has committed $250 million investment to aMoon II, an Israel-based healthcare fund, according to the fund’s managing partner.

Last month, Credit Suisse said it had raised $200 million from private investors. The fund is investing in mid-to-late health, medical technology and biopharma in Israel, the United States and Europe.

The company’s financing from its asset management and private banking divisions bring the fund close to meeting its target of $500 million. The remainder of the funding is expected to be raised within a few months from other financial institutions and wealthy individuals. The fund plans to invest $10 million to $40 million in 15 to 20 companies.

aMoon is a life science investment fund founded in 2016 by Marius Nacht, co-founder and chairman of Check Point Software Technologies, and Schindel.

Nacht and Schindel’s previous fund, aMoon I, focused on the early stage, investing in 16 startups.

Lombard Odier Asset Deal

Lombard Odier will place the assets in a new luxury goods fund called “Global Prestige” which will be sold from June 2018. The assets so far had been managed in Credit Suisse’s global prestige equity fund.

Also, it will hire current Credit Suisse fund manager Juan Mendoza. He will take charge of the new luxury goods fund.

Michel Degen, head of Credit Suisse asset management in Switzerland, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, partnerships such as the one forged between Lombard Odier and Credit Suisse are essential if the sector is to expand further. Cooperation and outsourcing will play an increasing role in the wake of rising costs.

M&A Banker Kossa

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has hired Credit Suisse’s head of German and Austrian M&A, Tibor Kossa, according to an internal memo.

Kossa, 40, will join the Wall Street bank as co-head of mergers & acquisitions in Germany and Austria, a newly created role. Goldman Sachs also promoted its Frankfurt-based managing director Christopher Droege as co-head.
